Which is cleaner, your keyboard or your toilet seat? Let's hope your keyboard, but just in case, we'll show you how to safely clean and disinfect your keyboard.

Studies have shown that computer keyboards can have more bacteria than toilet seats. Given that little tidbit of information, you might want to consider cleaning and disinfecting your keyboard more often, especially if you share your keyboard and mouse with others. Here's how:

Disconnect your keyboard from the computer. If you have wireless it is very easy to just turn off the unit.

You can use a aerosol can of compressed air to blow the dirt off, or a new dry paint brush to brush any crumbs. Its a good idea to turn the keyboard upside down and shake it to work the crumbs out of the inside.

I use a dampened sponge with diluted Simple Green on it to lightly rub the keys off. A dampened new paint brush can work between the keys. Be careful of using too much water as that will short it out..

Plug the keyboard back into the computer or turn the wireless power back on.
